Album Title: Havoc And Bright Lights(2012)

Just when I thought

I had handles on this

I can soften my guard behind false confidence

Just when I felt

Humble pie insipid

Exempt from this blind-side and firmly in its grip

Cause I am seduced by reaction and under the influence

I'm slipping again

I'm up to old tricks off my wagon

I have no defense I'm

Wreaking havoc

Wreaking havoc and consequence

I get reduced by my own willfulness as

I reach for my usual God replacements

Cause I am rich with sanction and lax in my steps

I'm slipping again

I'm up to old tricks off my wagon

I have no defense I'm

Wreaking havoc

Wreaking havoc and consequence

If forgiveness is understanding

Then I offer mea culpa for the millionth time

From this tumbling house of cards of mine

I am beaten by my impulsiveness

By this uncanny foreshadowing of regret

Cause I'm repulsed by restriction at least that's my excuse

I'm slipping again

I'm up to old tricks off my wagon

I have no defense I'm

Wreaking havoc

Wreaking havoc and consequence

I'm slipping again

I'm up to old tricks off my wagon

I have no defense

I'm wreaking havoc

Wreaking havoc and consequence
